Audi Q3 spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
Our Peeping Tom spy photographers normally catch prototypes when they're out and about on the street, but sometimes they catch a peek inside automakers' development studios, snagging shots of test mules before the tires even touch public asphalt. This is one such case, and though these photos aren't clear as day, it's no secret that
Audi's new
Q3 crossover, based on the
Volkswagen Tiguan, is what's being prepped behind closed doors (but not behind closed blinds).
We've known that Audi would be creating a smaller Q3 for quite some time now, and while the baby soft-roader relies heavily on its Tiguan underpinnings, we're sure that the quad-rung crossover will be much more shapely. Here, we see the sloping roofline and more rakish hatch, giving the Q3 a sportier stance than its VW-badged kin. Set to compete head-on with the
BMW X1, the Q3 should make its debut sometime in 2011 with the first production models hitting dealers later that year. Take a close look at these spy shots for yourself in the gallery below.
